crest shares transfers

sparkiemalarkie

Hi I'm sorting through my paper shares and gradually getting them transferred to X-O so that they're easier to sell.
I have some Standard Life paper shares that are due to pay a dividend fairly soon.
If I do a crest transfer now, to my X-O account, will the dividend still find its way to my bank account or do I have to inform 'some one' of my bank details?
Also if they are transferred on ex dividend date will I miss out on the dividend?

If the shares have gone ex dividend then you'll automatically receive the payment on your holding.

They haven't gone ex dividend yet maybe I need to wait until after that date.

Thanks I knew it was fairly soon.

I'll pop the certificate in the post on Monday then.
I guess my bank details will still work to get the dividend payment?

Yup, the registrar will pay holders who are on the register on Friday in the way they've asked.
